Seeks to allow BAH to be pro-rated for active-duty service during a semester.

When BAH is paid under the 9/11 GI Bill education benefit, it is prorated if the individual doesn't attend school for a full month. For example, if the school year starts on August 20th, they receive BAH for August 20-31, which is very reasonable. Unfortunately, if the individual serves even one day on active duty during the time period they are receiving the BAH under the 9/11 GI Bill, they forfeit the entire month of BAH. For example, if the individual is attending school for the fall semester and thus receiving BAH but serves one day on active duty in October, the individual forfeits the entire month of BAH instead of just the one day served.

The Enlisted Association of the National Guard of the United States urges Congress to alter the Post 9/11 GI Bill to allow BAH to be prorated for each day served on active duty during the month instead of forfeiting the entire month of BAH if even one day of active duty is served.
